The daily service is staffed by legally qualified call handlers between 9am and 5.30pm. It is part of Regus’ Get Started programme which offers start up support to all qualifying UK businesses by allowing free use of its business centres.

Regus Group plc chief executive Mark Dixon said: “I’m delighted we are able to work with Shoosmiths in this way, providing additional services to our thousands of UK clients.”

Regus, a Shoosmiths’ client for the past four years, worked with commercial property specialist Alan Corcoran and Rose Donoghue to establish the initiative.

Consumer services group partner Donoghue said: “This is an excellent new service and one that we’ve thoroughly enjoyed helping Regus to launch.”
